ABOUT IMG – S Email: [email protected]
Online resources: http://www.imgs-eu.org
IMG-S is an open forum bringing together technology experts from Industry, SMEs, Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) and Academia. With more than one hundred entities from 24 countries, it covers the entire security RTD domain and is able to bring an answer to European and global security needs.
IMG-S is a two level organization consisting of (i) a set of technology areas - 6 technical areas (TA) and 1 cross technical group (cTA) - providing consensual view on research priorities in their own domain.(ii) a Synthesis and Coordination Group (SCG) consisting of policy experts and representatives from the TAs to orient the work and develop a holistic security research view translating the technology viewpoints in to research priorities for the security domain at all levels, from fundamental research to mission capabilities and system integration, IMG-S contributes to ensure that short, mid-term and long-term security needs are addressed.
POSITION PAPER FOR HORIZON 2020
The IMG-S Position Paper is intended to be a source of information for stakeholders in European Security Research, specifically those engaged in research orientation and management (namely within the European Commission H2020 management), national security research representatives and directors, as well as end-users and regulators. This Position Paper results from a bottom-up collection of about 188 topics suggested by the IMG-S members and discussed by the IMG-S Technical Areas. Topics are included in a data base with the entries: H2020 strategic area; Keywords; sub-keywords; research theme; research topic; time frame (two-year period); funding instrument, performance indicators; impact on EC objectives; link with previous projects; related IMG-S experts
The IMG-S Synthesis and Coordination Group further selected a global oversight of the Security research priorities that best match the main security strategic areas for H2020. Criteria for prioritization of topics included:
• Contribution to specific capability gaps identified by end users
• Perceived trends in terms of emerging threats and technologies
• Consensus among IMG-S members out of diverse member States
• European added value • Relevance to EU policies such as the EU Internal
Security Strategy and its Action Plan, the EU Security Industrial Policy, the EU Climate Adaptation Strategy, the EU's Civil Protection Mechanism, the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection, EU 2020 Flagship Initiative on a Digital Agenda for Europe and the upcoming EU Cybersecurity Strategy. the EU Approach to Food Security
